Andean Zorro - MA/diff_research/VPs - game started

Those 35 gems still leave Abysia way behind the gems earned by the pythian forces and all of their conquered land..

@ BesucherXia - Sounds like you did a fanatastic job against all the odds. You came into what was always a hopeless position, but downing the Pythium pretender is certainly an impressive parting shot Look forward to the chance to play in some future MP games with you

@ Kheldron - My hat's off to you for being an amazingly tough SOB I'm pretty sure that if you weren't fighting against 2-3 enemies the whole time, then it would be me writing my goodbyes at this point. Your tale of fate certainly suggests things worked against you. Since I remember well that it was only the high aggression shown by Caelum, and the fear for my subsequent future, that led to my decision to unleash the Maenad hordes against you. And so far, the backstabbing manner in which I attacked you is by far my biggest newbie regret from all the games I've played/am playing. Cetainly look forward to playing in future games with you Not looking forward to the outcome of any 1-on-1 wars with you though! Although the fighting should be a ton of fun


The current word from the Groves is that the Satyr's think that Abysia and Pythium both appear to be growing increasingly powerful.

[Dragar]

Abysia hasn't grown in an age! We're good little demons, keeping to ourselves and reading books

[Calahan]

Can I please request a 48 extension for the current turn. I have to go to Greece for a week with work later today, and have no idea how much free time I'll have, or even if I'll have any internet/WiFi access once I'm there. Might not need the extension if time and web connection are both good, but better to be safe than sorry

@ BDA - Nice one But she'll be back

[DonCorazon]

Have fun in Greece!

48 hours has been added.

[DonCorazon]

NEWS FLASH!!!!
The Pythium Senate has been dismissed after General Corazonus of the 6th Legion led a military coup last night. While details are sparse, it seems the recent embarrassing failure of Pyth’s champion in the arena, the death of the goddess Willow, and the quagmire of the protracted Ermorian war, including the assassination of our national hero, the Patriarch, in a magic duel, were all causes for the revolution. Corazonus is now giving notice of termination of NAPs with Pangea and Ashdod to maintain maximum flexibility to intervene in the volatile western war zones should the situation so require it.

[DonCorazon]

It seems Calahan is out of contact. Turn is supposed to host in less than an hour. I am going to add 12 hours since he staled last time and I'd hate to see two stales in a row. In the meantime, I am going to look for a possible sub. I don't want to pause the game too long since we already seem to be losing some momentum...

[Dragar]

We have momentum??

[DonCorazon]

Good point. That was diplomatic.

It would be nice to finish this game up before Christmas.

Since he said he'd be gone a week on the 15th, I am assuming he may be getting back soon so will wait a day or so. After that I guess we look for a sub or turn him AI and just get this one over with. Open to ideas though.

[Dragar]

I dunno, I've never played in a game remotely this slow. This was the second game I ever joined, and I've lost count of how many I've played since then.

I go away for almost 4 weeks late November. I was hoping initially that this game would be long gone by then, looks like the next set of wars won't even have started the way we're going.

Pangaea really is critical to the game, we need Calahan here to make it worthwhile..

It seems really, really wasteful, but is anyone still enjoying this one? or are we continuing on for the sake of it?
